A Cellphone for Women and Men with Manbags

I agree with designer Paz Brouk that women who tend to keep their cellphones in their purse find it a nightmare to retrieve before a call goes to voicemail. To overcome this little problem, she’s designed the Gabler, a folding phone that can be hung over the edge of a purse. The phone folds in a diagonal line in the middle thanks to the flexible screen and flexible outer shell and includes all standard features found in modern-day phones. My only problem with having it all exposed is the invitation for would be kleptos. Instructed by Mr. Eyal Kramer and Mrs. Michal Chen

I like the folding, but the off-axis button orientation seemingly has no purpose and looks awkward. Hell, the # button is only about 1/3 of a button! That's just retarded. That means it would require 2 hands to dial, a big no-no. And why are the numbers printed partly on the flat surface, partly in the button recess? It's just so awkward and goofy overall. The only redeeming part is the flexible screen, which can be a reality with OLED.

Without pockets and belt clips, where are we women supposed to put our phones and electronic devices? How about a magnetic clip with a release button? We can then clip to a necklace, wristband, purse or whatever our accessory du jour might be. As for this design, interesting but not for a cellphone. Perhaps better if it were an audio device that was blutoothed to the phone of your desire?
